Newly Released Spanish-Translated Vaccine Handling Videos
PHF, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has released Spanish-translated videos on vaccine handling to support the immunization workforce. The videos are designed to help immunization staff understand complex vaccine handling protocols. Providing vaccine handling protocols in another language can enhance comprehension and retention, ultimately reducing the risk of errors in vaccine storage, preparation, transport, and administration. Watch and share the videos with your networks.
The videos are also available in English. __________________________________________________________________
La Fundación de Salud Pública (PHF), en asociación con Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), ha publicado videos en español sobre el manejo de vacunas para apoyar al personal a cargo de inmunización. Los videos están diseñados para ayudar al personal de inmunización a comprender los complejos protocolos de manejo de vacunas. Proporcionar protocolos de manejo de vacunas en otro idioma puede mejorar la comprensión y la retención, lo cual reduce el riesgo de errores en el almacenamiento, la preparación, el transporte y la administración de las vacunas. Mire y comparta los videos con sus redes.
Los videos también están disponibles en Inglés. |
